What do you collect?

I'm not big on collecting things but I have a small hand bell collection, including the school bell that was used in the second school I taught in. I also have and odd plate collection. When I see an unusual or particularly attractive dinner or serving plate I'll buy it and use it for serving cakes, cookies, sandwiches, etc... So, what do you guys collect?

My favorites so far are my matching cow salt and pepper shakers (they have swirly mustaches painted on), and my cow cookie jar. :)>>> I find almost all of them at local thrift stores. I have wayyy too many...

Don't know if this will make me sound interesting or like an alcoholic, but I like to save beer bottles so one day, when I go to Michigan to visit family, I can return the bottles for 10 cents each. I threw a bunch away because I thought it made me seem like an alcoholic to have a buch of empty beer bottles in my room. I want to save up enough to like go on a vacation....with beer bottles.

Okay, it makes me just seem weird..

Do you live in Michigan? Don't the bottles say what state they are redeemable in? I know in CA it actually says CA CRV or has CA circled if there are more states listed on the bottle... So even if I wanted to I redeem my bottles in Michigan I couldn't... Just wondering if it is the same everywhere?

There was an episode of hoarders where a guy was doing that.

That show makes me puke, although I could probably be on that show in ten years. I should probably stop doing that.

I don't have an official count, but I'd be willling to guess it's well over 3,000 records.

;D I take it you don't move too often.

This post makes me so sad. When I moved to Nashville from California, I had to leave behind about 1,000 records and I sold a bunch of stuff I didn't listen to. I literally have like 300 records here in Nashville and no turntable to play them on. Sad :( :( :(

please tell me you didn't leave all the hardcore and 90s emo records!!! that stuff is seriously what i am looking for. i have a tiny notebook with the records that i am looking for that i put in my front pocket every single day, just in case i wander into a record store and need to know what i don't already have. something tells me that i should start looking in nashville....

i also collect colored and picture vinyl for a future art project. i have acquired a talent for just barely pulling out the sleeve to see if the record is at all interesting.

lately i've also been saving beer bottles from rare or quirky bombers i drank. but i'm too broke to actually drink anything super awesome so i doubt this hobby will last long.

I left most of it behind, yes. What are you looking for? I have some 7" stuff here, but not too many LPs. I have tons and tons of hardcore and 90's emo, too. Like, lots an lots and lots.
